I just opened a package I received from Handmade magazine, and what a treat it is. I emailed them a letter late last year about a slightly scary cooking experience and then forgot all about it. What a surprise to find my letter is their star letter in Handmade Vol 26 No 12 and I won a fantastic prize pack. Its got two papercraft books, some lovely textured papers, stickers, rub on's, super sized brads, and patterns too! So perfect for me. I can't wait to get playing.

I have bowed to public pressure and have just about finished reading the Twilight books. And they are as wonderful as I had been told. Like all readers I fell for the charms of the dazzling Edward and felt the need to create a bookmark to match the reading experience. I sketched up Edward and got a lovely stamp made up. Today I finished the collages for the bookmarks - due soon in my Etsy shop, along with some ACEO sizes. I am most pleased - now I can go a read the final 40 pages!
